Short Summary

  • Hello, my name is Star Montana and I am a photo-based artist from Boyle Heights, California. I have been working on my Masters of Fine Art at USC for the past two years, which has been an emotional rollercoaster. I am the first person in my family to graduate from college and I will be the first in my family to get a Masters degree.
  • For the completion of my Masters of Fine Art (MFA), I am required to create an MFA solo exhibition, in which I create a whole new body of work that has required me to put in many hours for the last two years to conceptualize this new exhibition.
  • In order to fully execute the exhibition, I realize I would need to seek out the help of my community for more funding than I have. I have dedicated myself mostly to my education these last two years and slowed down my freelance career.

What We Need & What You Get

  • I am creating a photo exhibition that has installation throughout it so I will need to frame many of my images. Right now my framer estimate's a minimum $2,000 for my frames. I will need atleast $1000 for photo printing and $500 for material to build part of my installation (that is a surprise). 
  • I will be adding different Perks for Donations that are above $10 asap.

The Impact

  • I really believe in this exhibition and I am so proud of myself for making it this far through my education, the hardest part now is finishing my exhibition and getting the funding to achieve this goal.

Risks & Challenges

  • It's always super hard to create a campaign for me because I am a prideful person that feels she's can do it alone but realistically, I cannot fund this exhibition alone. I am a struggling student/artist/human. I have so much love from my family but we are poor and as much as they would love to help me right now, they cannot help me financially at all. I am super grateful I have a large network that has helped me in the past and I hope can help me this time. 
  • My biggest risk and challenge is that if I cannot get funded, my exhibition will be low quality and not be up to my standard. I have worked so hard for the past two years in Graduate school to get here at the finish line and now that I am here I want to finish with an amazing exhibition that I have dreamed of for years. The most beautiful part is I will be finishing my Master's Degree in Los Angeles so many of you can come to see and witness my show first hand in person, which wasn't possible during my first graduation in New York.

If you have a little money help my MFA dream come true with a contribution.
